Hi everyone

So I have been following the stronglifts program for about 2 months and happy to share my update. I feel like I have now hit a roadblock in regards to the maximum weight I am able to lift. Hence, I want to figure out how to modify my routine going forward to continue building strength.


Here are my highest benchmarks I have achieved so far:

-Squats: 150 pounds
-Bench Press: 105 pounds
-Barbell Row: 120 pounds
-Deadlift: 185 lbs
-Overhead press: 60 pounds


Areas where I felt comfortable in the beginning but now finding it difficult to progress as the weights started progressing: overhead press, deadlift and bench press

Areas where I feel I have reached the max weight and not sure if it's possible to go further: Squats

Areas where I feel I still can still comfortably progress in: barbell row


Given my progress, how should I keep going forward in this program in order to stay effective in this program?

Thank you
